Mariah Carey Has a New Song!
The last time Mariah Carey produced some new music was back in 2014 with Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse. Since then, Carey has been through a lot. She and Nick Cannon divorced, and Carey began dating Australian billionaire James Packer. The couple were engaged and soon broke up in what was described as a bitter split. After ending things with Packer, Carey began dating her backup dancer, Bryan Tanaka.
Carey starred in her own docu-series, Mariah’s World. The series followed Carey through her “The Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour” around Europe and her wedding preparations with Packer. The final episode showed Mariah Carey, her twins Moroccan and Monroe, and ex-husband Nick Cannon celebrating their children’s birthday. She was also having trouble setting a wedding date, as she was getting closer to Tanaka who questioned her willingness to marry Packer.

The season finale aired on January 29, 2017, with some great news for Lambs. Mariah Carey shared a sneak peek of her new song, “I Don’t” during the season finale of Mariah’s World making fans go wild with excitement.
“I Don’t” is a breakup ballad Carey recorded when her engagement with James Packer ended. “‘Cause when you love someone, you just don’t treat them bad, you messed up all we had. Probably think I’m coming back, but I don’t, I don’t,” Carey sings in “I Don’t.”
Discussing the breakup with Packer during her docu-series, Mimi said that she had more time to process her feelings since she wrapped up her tour and was ready to get back to the studio. “I started writing a song to express what I’ve been going through. And if you’re not getting the love that you need from someone that you’re supposed to be in a real relationship with, then why remain in that situation?”
At the end of the episode, she took off on vacation to Maui with her dancer beau. Tanaka and Carey shared an intimate moment on the season finale raising suspense for the next season of Mariah’s World. Carey’s new single “I Don’t” will release this Friday, February 3.
